Do you have little picky eaters at home? I have 2! We often end up with crying and tantruming toddlers at the dining table. I thought I was going to give up trying. But recently, I picked up some tips to get my kids to eat! It's called eating the rainbow concept. So far we have made some promising progress at home. I'm a pleased momma indeed.
1. Eat rainbow food. Choose food of various colours. Teach my boys the different colours of the food and eating all of them.
2. Talk kids. Don't use bombastic language like protein helps you to build muscles. Try taking chicken will make you a stronger policeman and fireman! (These 2 jobs are my boys' obsession)
3. Get the small hands to help in the kitchen. When they are involved in the washing, cutting and cooking, the boys get to know about the food they eat and widen their acceptance
4. Keep trying! Whenever introducing new food, insist on at least 1 bite to show respect to the hands who put the food on table. If they don't like it, they can say no, thank you bye. It can take up to 30 bites before children take up a liking.
5. Camouflage certain ingredients into favorite food for example vegetables into omelette/bread/cake.
This ABC soup is very colorful, easy to make and definitely can be prepared in the morning for lunch before I head to work.
Ingredients
2 brown onions
1 carrot
2 sweet corns on the cob
4 small tomatoes
2 potatoes
1/2 cup of organic soy bean
3 chicken thigh with bones
Firm tofu cubes
Salt soy sauce and sesame oil to taste
Blanch chicken in hot water to skim impurities.
Cut everything into big chunks and place in Russell Taylors pressure cooker inner pot.
Add water to cover the ingredients.
Seal the lid. Make sure the valve is closed.
Set pressure cooker to the Soup Preset.
Set timer if needed.
Voila! A pot of wholesome meal can be enjoyed with some steam rice or noodles.
